Searching For An Edge

When you can make a ball talk like Kagiso Rabada can you don't really need any extra help from the pitch.

Tortured Soul

Ryan Sidebottom has always had that fast bowlers ability to channell his inner Van Gough, while still retaining both ears.

Jimmy The Grimace

Back And Bouncey

Mohammad Amir - older, wiser and still very dangerous.

Quick

In Starc Contrast

Mitchell has to be the most improved bowler in the last 2 seasons.

Sideshow Mitch

With fast bowlers it is always about the red mist.

"Reports of my demise ...

... have been greatly exaggerated"

Bound And Gagged

This one is going straight into the "if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all" file. We can think of a few other bowlers who might benefit from Kieron Pollard's approach.

Fast Bowler Angst

Jerome Taylor's closed fist and open mouth seem to sum up the fast bowlers attitude.

Angry Eyes

It might have only been a warm up game but there is little doubt that Kyle Abbott is putting in plenty in this delivery.

The Hands Of Irfan

Big man, big hands, big future!

Still Smiling After All These Years

The Ishant Sharma Shuffle

Close Your Eyes And Swing ...

... is the perfect description of my batting style. For Lasith Malinga it is just a way of of (bowling) life.

Irfan Pathan Rampant

Test or T20, a wicket is a source of great joy and pride to any fast bowler, not least the competitive  Irfan Pathan.

The Growl Of The Tiger

T20 or Test Match, don't mess with Dale Steyn when he is in the (or should it be a?) mood.

Arise Sir Curtly

Flyin High

Ishant Sharma gets off to a flying start.

Madder....

... is often better than faster when it comes to fast bowling - just ask Mitchell McClenaghan. He ain't super fast but boy can he get angry.
